  2. General concepts for PT priority A PT priority system aims at coordinating a set of actions, each of them favoring Public Transport while crossing junctions against all other users Two categories of actions have to be undertaken : Static Priority Dynamic Priority SODIT - Beijing - Octobre 2007 2

  3. Static Priority Priority Vehicles are considered when traffic signal plan is calculated Signal Plan minimise their theoretical waiting time : green wave based on their usual speed Where to use it : Routes with high PT frequency Few variations of traffic SODIT - Beijing - Octobre 2007 3

  4. Dynamic Priority On-line adaptation of the signal plan (microregulation) in order to favour PT Done by the traffic controler Well-suited when traffic conditions are changing rapidly, and when frequency of prioritary vehicles is low Two categories of actions: Earlier or longer compatible green phase Insertion of a green phase dedicated to PT SODIT - Beijing - Octobre 2007 4

  5. Impact of PT Priority on traffic PT frequency, traffic volumes and design and capacity of junctions have a great impact on priority efficiency/performance Generally, the higher benefits for the PT, the greater degradation for other road users The computation of signal plans and determination of activation rules are of the greatest importance SODIT - Beijing - Octobre 2007 5

  6. Efficient approach for PV Specific road design can improve the approach of priority vehicles to the junction Reduce absolute value of arrival time Reduce incertainty on arrival time Road installation Reserved lane, full or only near the junction Commercial stop after the junction Separated road SODIT - Beijing - Octobre 2007 6

  7. Components of the priority system Detecting the vehicle Local detection On-board localisation Transmission of this information to the traffic light controller Management of the priority demand Local decision Centralised decision  4 system architectures are possible SODIT - Beijing - Octobre 2007 7

  8. Local detection / local decision Traffic controller receives the approach info And compute the new signal plan on its own SODIT - Beijing - Octobre 2007 8

  9. Local detection / Centralised decision PV approach detected by traffic controller Adapted signal plan computed by a control centre Traffic controller receives new decision from CC SODIT - Beijing - Octobre 2007 9

  10. On-board localisation / Local decision The vehicle is localised by a control centre The traffic controller manages locally the priority demand SODIT - Beijing - Octobre 2007 10

  11. On-board localisation / Central decision The vehicle is localised by a control centre Which transmits the info to a Traffic Control Centre The TCC sends priority orders to the local controller SODIT - Beijing - Octobre 2007 11
